Home Sales Recovery Through Retrofit
People Qualify For Mortgages… Houses Qualify For Energy Efficient Mortgages!
Finally, one marketplace exchange where Qualified Homebuyers can find Qualified Homes that have been pre-packaged to access the financial benefits that can only be realized through Home Energy Retrofit.
Did You Know?
- There are 750,000 homes in the Kansas City Metro Area that were built before 2000 (This is the year the Model Energy Code First Starting being Enforced)
- Each one of these 750,000 is a good candidate for a home energy retrofit
- In 2009, 22,000 of these homes changed ownership
- If we had retrofitted each one of those 22,000 homes, we would have created $350,000,000 worth of construction work.
- That’s 9,100 Jobs!
- Up until April 31st 2010, we had an $8,000 first time homebuyer federal tax credit which stimulated home sales.
- Unfortunately, the homeowner could not access the tax money until tax time the following year and it did very little to create actual jobs.
- Now, The Energize Missouri Retrofit Rebate Program will rebate a homeowner up to $7,000.00.
- The Home Performance with Energy Star Program will rebate the homeowner up to $1,200.00.
- The Home Star Program will rebate the homeowner up to $8,000.00.
- Let’s not forget the many other rebates and tax incentives that are too numerous to mention, but available through home energy retrofit.
- An energy improvement mortgage will finance up to 100% of the energy improvements.
- What does that mean to the Real Estate Industry?…Cash Back Rebates for homebuyers who retrofit their homes as a part of the sale!
